Yesterday I've managed to draw a triangle with vulkan's modern features :D except heap allocator because my pc cannot do it.

A secret room in #AStandardDeviation. Can't say much about it without spoiling :P Do you like the view on the ocean? Btw, to wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4438690/... #ScreenshotSaturday #Puzzle #AdventureGame #MadeWithGodot #SoloDev #GameDev

An older one this #ScreenshotSaturday. Partly to show how much the game changed and partly because last week too I've been working on laser and vfx stuff. The gif below showcases the telescope, an hidden item in #AStandardDeviation that allows you to get a quick look at far places. #AdventureGame

I wanted to add custom color palettes for a while and I guess this is a good month to do so :P Some palettes may make puzzles harder, But the color-blindness Phi assist is still there. And I guess it's better to have the option than not have it. #Pride #ScreenshotSaturday #SoloDev #MadeWithGodot

Found this mirror vfx in the trash (an old scene) and managed to sneak it into the demo for the Steam Next Fest. Oh yeah, A Standard Deviation will take part in the Next Fest that starts next monday! Play the demo and wishlist. #ScreenshotSaturday #SteamNextFest #Puzzle #IndieGame #MadeWithGodot

#PitchYaGame I present A Standard Deviation! Explore planet Crystal Archipelago, study its phenomena and solve puzzles alongside a colorful pirate crew. Study the effects of "diffraction", that split you, the wildlife and other things into colored components (color-blindness features incl.) Wishl

I made this shortform video for A Standard Deviation! What do you think? Is it catchy enough? And yes, you can actually play the demo of A Standard Deviation on itch in your browser (if supported) without downloading anything! #AStandardDeviation #IndieGame

Last Saturday I've been to Svilupparty in Bologna to demo A Standard Deviation. I received a lot of useful feedback and I met many cool people! Thanks to the organizers for this great event. 10/10, I would go again.

New Demo for A Standard Deviation!

In February 2024 I started making a game for the Acerola Jam 0 . When the jam ended I was pretty happy with the little game I’ve made. I liked the characters I’ve come up, I saw potential in the m...

Working on the #AStandardDeviation demo for Steam and thought it would be cool to end it with a teaser montage thingy that would pique the player's curiosity. What do you think? #GameDev #SoloDev #ScreenshotSaturday #MadeWithGodot #AdventureGame

A propos, this #ScreenshotSaturday I show you the tool I sometime use to test dialogues. It has a pink background right now because I need to chroma key it for the new trailer I'm making for the new Steam page of #AStandardDeviation. #GameDev #SoloDev #MadeWithGodot

Reworking some rooms of the Tower to give them a side view. Removing half of a degree of freedom eliminates the artificial difficulty that some testers found. But also reinforces the idea that the player is actually climbing to the top of the Tower. #AStandardDeviation #ScreenshotSaturday #SoloDev

A Standard Deviation's jadojef @essojadojef.itch.io · 10/01/2026

These past holidays I've been refining some interactions and fixing some issues that came out of some recent playtests. A couple of those things are new sprites and vfxs for the items menu and radio. What do you think of them? #ScreenshotSaturday #AStandardDeviation #SoloDev #MadeWithGodot

A Standard Deviation's jadojef @essojadojef.itch.io · 15/11/2025

This #ScreenshotSaturday I present the second playable character of #AStandardDeviation: Rougeanne, captain of the space-pirates. She is playable only for a small portion of the game but hopefully her unique toolset and more combat-oriented playstyle will make up for that. #AdventureGame #PixelArt

A Standard Deviation's jadojef @essojadojef.itch.io · 25/10/2025

This week I've been working on some cutscenes for #AStandardDeviation. The campfire cutscenes will provide some downtime and humour and hopefully they will spark some curiosity towards the lore of the island and of the universe of the game. #ScreenshotSaturday #SoloDev #GameDev #MadeWithGodot

Thank you. Really happy to hear that. Indeed lasers are pretty fun to play around with but the implementation can get quite tricky.

A Standard Deviation's jadojef @essojadojef.itch.io · 11/10/2025

For today's #ScreenshotSaturday I want to show the dynamic environment that I've been working on lately for the rooms that contain laser puzzles. #Godot 's global shader parameters came in handy to manage the tiles palette. #SoloDev #GameDev

And here's also a version with the colorblind #accessibility feature turned on. What do you think? It can be used to cheat the puzzle but if you want to do it I'm ok with that.

Screenshot of gameplay demonstrating the colorblind accessibility feature. Each object in the room has besides it an indicator representative of its color.

For today's #ScreenshotSaturday I'll show some tone-mapping changes I made to #AStandardDeviation. The core mechanic is that pretty much everything can be fragmented into colored copies. With this fragments should be easier to see. Here is a before and after of the changes. #GodotEngine #SoloDev

Screenshot of gameplay with old tone mapping, the flowers' colors are darker

Screenshot of gameplay with new tone mapping. The flowers' colors are brighter.

It is indeed, but also interoperability comes free with internet protocols. Implementation of gameplay mechanics and rendering may vary wildly between ports but as long as the game correctly communicates the state of the world that doesn't matter.

Lately I've been focusing more on things other than gameplay or #vfx. But today I have something worthy of a #ScreenshotSaturday. Some rooms have a diamond that interact with lasers, making objects in the room appear or disappear. #AStandardDeviation #GameDev #SoloDev #MadeWithGodot

As a fellow european, I hope everyone in #Germany goes to #vote today. No party wants a coalition with afd. So any vote you cast, whether it is for a party you like or for the party you least dislike, is a vote against nazism. #BTW25 #BTW2025

First #ScreenshotSaturday here on bluesky. This week I've worked on some enemies and interactions for A Standard Deviation. The net is an unlock-able item that can be used to move objects or creatures that the player can't push. #AStandardDeviation #SoloDev #GameDev #MadeWithGodot

In 2024 I played only 3 AAA games: Sup Mario Wonder, Splatoon Side Order and GB Link's Awakening. My game of the year goes to Mouthwashing. Honorable mentions are Disco Elysium (I haven't finished it yet) and TUNIC.

Last year, inspired by Alpharad Gold, I started keeping a diary of the games I play. In 2024 I've played 50 different games. The majority, 36, are submissions to the Acerola Jam 0. There were many great games submitted, one that stuck with me is Annihilation Party.

Hello bluesky, I'm an aspiring #indiedev. For a while I've been posting on mastodon (mastodon.gamedev.place/deck/@essoja...) but I'd like to start posting here too. I'm currently working on an adventure game called A Standard Deviation. #introduction #solodev #gamedev
